To which Todd Moody wrote: >I'd like to see the data on this... This data was not obtained by Cordain but quoted by Cordain and I'm not sure he cited all neccesary information to hunt the study down. I think this general idea has a lot to do with Cordain's emphasis on watching how much protein you do eat, that too much is a bad thing. Still, even with the acidic residue of protein in the mix, Americans are clearly more at risk for osteoporosis; just look at how many elderly Americans have it. I'll ask around and see if I can get some more info on this study. I'd like to see it myself. Dori Zook Denver, CO
